The stigma of lettuce is two splits. Abundant calcium granules are displayed in the wall of papillae on the receptive surface of stigma before and after pollination, which may facilitate pollen germination. However, a few calcium granules in the wall of epidermis cell on no-receptive surface. Calcium distribution in style presents a gradient in transmitting tissue and parenchyma cells from the top to the base of the style before pollination. After pollination, calcium in transmitting tissue distinctly increased and its gradient distribution became more evident. Pollen tubes grow in the intercellular gaps of transmitting tissue. When pollen tubes grew into transmitting tissue, calcium granules in parenchyma around transmitting tissue decreased, suggesting a calcium movement was controlled by pollen tubes. The calcium gradient distribution also appeared in the trachea of vascular bundle of style. In general, calcium in style displays a feature of time-special distribution: transmitting tissue doesn't need much more calcium that is only stored in the parenchyma before pollination. However, calcium in parenchyma cells may be transported to transmitting tissue and make the latter contain more calcium to form an evident calcium gradient and meet the requirement of pollen tubes directionally growing after pollination. This is the second sample of calcium gradient existing in style, which was found by using potassium antimonite method.</p>","PeriodicalId":77395,"journal":{"name":"Shi yan sheng wu xue bao","volume":"38 4","pages":"277-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25641675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our previous work of in vitro fertilization we found that once an egg cell fused with a sperm cell, it could hardly fuse with other sperm within a certain period. Therefore we proposed that fusing egg cell must suffer some intrinsic changes during the fusion, such as the change of microtubule organization, which may prevent the egg cell from another fusion with extra sperm cells. In present work, the dynamic change of microtubule organization during the process of cell fusion in Nicotiana tabacum was observed through the single cell immunofluorescence microscopy. It was found that once cells began to adhere and fuse in Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), the microtubule immediately depolymerized. During this period of fusion and before microtubule polymerized again in the fusion product, the cell was unable to fuse with other cells. The results suggested microtubule organization was likely involved in the mechanisms of controlling cell fusion, and offered a clear indication that similar mechanism might also contribute to plant avoiding polygamy.</p>","PeriodicalId":77395,"journal":{"name":"Shi yan sheng wu xue bao","volume":"38 4","pages":"347-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25641090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The work was based on combinations of fluorescence confocal, phase contrast, cell proliferation assay and immunolabeling identification. The results showed that (1) two major morphologically and immunohistochemically distinct types of cells were present after 15 days in the primary cultures of adult transgenic mice olfactory nerves and glomerular layers of the olfactory bulb. One cell type was bipolar or multipolar OECs and strained positively for P75 low affinity neurotrophic receptor (P75N), S100, and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP). The other type was fibroblasts with flat or endothelial-like shape, and reacted with antibody against Thy1.1. (2) A simple, inexpensive method for purifying ensheathing cells, in which various harvested cell types showed different rates of attachment to the uncoated culture ware, was developed. This technique neither binds any antibodies nor requires any costly equipment, and yields a large number of highly purified cells.
